— The team announced that wideout Terry McLaurin reported for training camp over the weekend and has been placed on the Active/Physically Unable To Perform list with an ankle issue. McLaurin and the team have been working on a contract extension, and while he is in the building, no new deal has been announced yet. Quinn said the team is happy to have McLaurin back preparing for the upcoming season.
“I’m really pumped that he’s here, man. He’s such an awesome competitor. We had a chance to spend some time together yesterday; it was great to see him.”
— It was an up-and-down day for both sides of the ball, but the offense’s best moments came near the end of practice during two-minute drills. With about six seconds left on the clock, Daniels heaved a pass to Jaylin Lane in the corner of the end zone. The rookie was double covered on the play, but that didn’t stop him from making the catch and tapping both feet in bounds. The entire offense rushed onto the field in front of a cheering crowd to celebrate the play.
— Lane’s play was the catch of training camp so far, but a close second came from Michael Strachan minutes later. With Sam Hartman now in at quarterback, the offense had one final shot to get into the end zone as time expired. Hartman launched a ball to Strachan, leaped above Car’Lin Vigers and made the touchdown catch. Daniels was the first offensive player to celebrate, and he was quickly joined by the rest of the unit.
— Mike Sainristil keeps making plays. Daniels aired out a deep shot intended for Lane near the beginning of practice, but the pass was tipped and fell into Sainristil’s hands.
— Defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw loves playing alongside Von Miller. Here’s what he had to say about playing with the Pro Bowler:
“Just being next to a great, it elevates you. I can’t speak for everybody else, but I know when I’m out there next to him, it just makes me go to a different level. Just being able to learn some things from him and see how he sees the game. You understand why he’s got as many sacks as he does. He’s just a different dude, dynamic.”
